General Cuppage, That, considering the great increase which has within the few :past years taken place in the Military Establishments of the East India-CoMpany in India, it is of essential importance that 'the Executive Body in this country should contain an adequate , number of professional men, competent, from local experience, to superintend the affairs of the Company in that important de. partment ; and that, in this view, it is highly expedient, at the present period to elect, for the Direction, a Gentleman, who, from long residence in India, has obtained a practical know ledge of the Military Branch of the service. 2dly.

The Marquis of LANSDOWN, on rising to move for an account of the exports and imports of Singapore for the last three years, observed that these papers, when laid upon their Lordshit s' table, would serve, to chew the importance to which that port had risen in the commerce of the East. They would prove that the advantages anticipated from declaring it a free port had been fully realized. They , Would prove that in a coon. try so remote and barbarous, inhabited by nations. so ditrerent in language and manners, by tribes under the influence of igno. ranee and all sorts of vicious propen.iitics, there had been so quick an apprehension of the benefits of free trade, such a feeling of the interest to be derived from a commerce carried on under the protection of the British laws, that a most unexampled in. crease had taken place in the exports and imports of that port, in the short period during which the new system had been in operation. It would be found that even in 11)22 the commerce of the port had already doubled, and amounted to 11,568,800 dollars. In 1823 it increased to 13,280,090 dollars ; mutt in 1114 it was no less than 15,772,000 dollars; thus exhibicing, in the course of these three years, An actual doubling of th e amount , which had, even previously to that period, already increased in a very considerable degree. it was impossible to look at the map without perceiving the importance of the situation of Singe. pore, and the action of the principle was not, in th e p resent case , confined to the spot itself; It was not limited to the little island in which-this port was situated, but extended its effects over the vast empire in the vicinity of which it was placed. It serv ed to elicit a commercial spirit in those extensive and po pulous regions of which it was of high importance that this country should avail itself ; and if from any narrow principle of policy the East India Company should be induced to put a pe. nod to the system which had been so happily introduced, the trade, so far from increasing, would gradually sink into nilieance, and all the prospects of advantage to ourselves and of Improvement in those great empires with which the intercourse had been opened, would at once be cutoff and disappear. To the facts already stated, his Lordship ndded the number of t ose l r i: t l y ti , ve o s. r m vessels which had entered the portin two }Tars and &Atoll had 33 an d w u e p i t upwards British 1 of 2 , i o r Ills Lordship concluded by moving , " An Account of the exports arid imports of Singppore, during the years 1022, 1823, and be i e m n d 2 ed ,BB b 9 y opfrl British hch officers, tri only ee r 8 3 , 18 1 1; and also an Atcount of the Tonnage each year, distin. • guishing the countries to_ettt , h vessels belong.'—Ordered. CORN LAWS. Earl GROSVENOR presented a petition from Satddleworth, in the county of York, praVing for a revision of the Corn I,4aws. The Noble Earl observes!, that although on the whole he con. ceived it would be better to defer the consideration of the Corn Laws until the next Session of Parliament,' he was glad 'to per. ceive that it great number of petitions on the subject had been laid before the House. Lord KING said, lie had petitions to present egainst the dead weight—Ale real deed weight. WhPn he last adverted to it, he had the misfortune to offend one Noble Lord, and be re buked by another, but he would notwithstanding, advert to this dead weight as a pressing and heavy burthen. The Noble Lord then made some observations against the Corn Laws, and concluded by presenting petitions from certain Weavers of Dundee and Inhabitants of Arbroath, praying for their repeal. The Earl of LIMERICK said, he was glad to perceive that the Noble lord had made some change in his old and oft re peated song, by now calling that dead weight to which he had usually given the title of the job of jobs. The Earl of KINOSTOX presented a petition from the Barony of Condom, in the County of Cork, against any altera tion of the Corn Laws. The petition was laid on the table. BANKS IN SCOTLAND. The Duke of ARGYLE presented a petition from the Royal Burgh of Cambelton, ag►idnst any alteration of the Banking system of Scotland. 'rile Noble Duke also presented a similar petition &Om the inhabitants ofStinderiantl.,—tiaiti on the table. Thy Earl of LAUDERDALE presented petitions to the same e ffect flout several Corporate Trade. of the Borough of Ayr; from the Provost and Magistrates of Dundee, trom those or Dmgwall, from Elgin, torn Cawdor, from the Provost and Magistrates of Jedborough, and from the Inhabitants of the same town ; from the Shipowners and Merchants of 31ontrose, from the Corporation of Illaltmen of Leith ; and from the Free. holders of the County of I,:tnark.—The petition was laid on the table. NEGRO SLAVERY. Earl (TREY presented a petition from ilishopweannouth, praying for the Abolition of Slavery. Earl GROSVENOR said he had a petition from Otter on the same subject. The petitioners prayed among other things to abolish Slavery, because it was contrary to justice and huma nity. The Noble Earl added, that he was sure the Right Rev. Bench would most willingly admit the truth of that assertion. It was desirable that means should be adopted to carry into affect the humane intention. of Parliament. If it should turn out that the Colonial Legislatures would not accede to mild pro posals, and the Noble Earl was sorry to say he believed they would not, Parliament knew what to do. The Bishop of CHESTER said, as he bad been particularly requested to be present in the House on the presentation of the petition which the Noble Earl (Grosvenor) had laid before their Lordships, he kit it his duty to state that the unanimity with which the subject to which it referred was regarded in Chester, was perhaps greater than existed on any other topic whatsoever. But while he rejoiced to perceive the existence of this spirit so general among the people, he was satisfied to leave the subject m the handi of his Majesty's Ministers, in the frill persuasion that they would use their power with discretion us well as vigour. The Archbishop of YORK presented a petition to the same effect from Whitby, in the county of York ; and also petitions from several parishes in the same county. Petitions to the same effect were presented hy the Marquis CAMDEN, and by Lord GIVYDEIt, from Cardi ff : Lord ELLENBOROUGHpreaented a petition *Olen in. dividettl, praying that the free inhabitants of colour of the West India Islands might be admitted to equal rights with the . inhabitants of thceie colonies. The Noble Lord wished the Noble Earl (Bathurst) to inform him whether it was the intention of his 11Iajesty's Government to transmit to the Law Officers of the IVest India Colonies any orders for gradually raising the free inhabitants of colour to a participation of the rights enjoy ed by the whites ? Earl BATHURST replied, that the subject had been under the consideration of' Government, and that a recommendation had been given to the Colonial Legislative As se m blie s to br ing in FL Bill for the bettering the condition of the negro population generally. Earl GROSVENOR observed, that the subject was well worthy , the attention of his Majesty 's Government. Earl BATHURST observed. that instructions for iroprov. ing the situation of free people of colour had been transmitted to the Island s o f Trinaul and Berbia. Lord ST. VINCENT, as a proof that the condition of the free people of colour was not so bad as it W.IR generally con ceived, quoted an instance in which a gentleman of large pm. perty died in the West Indies,. 20 left a sum of 40,0001. sterling to a free woman of colour, which she inherited and now enjoyed.—The petitions were severally laid on the table. CO3I3IERCE OF LIMERICK. The Earl of LIMERICK presented a petition from the City of Limerick against the Abolition of Small Notes in Ireland. The peopl e o f that anion to any alter a tion in the p r esent system of banking iii that country, as th e ple of Scotland t° a " change in the system evip and peop l el were so elartuin that country . i n t h e S out h of Ireland there was not more than one Bank issuing sma ll notes at present. There had been lately an extensive failure of a Ilanking.lnote in Cork, anti a second had su s p en d e d payment in consequence of the de a th o f the princip a l petiropthriaettotriteyTwheouctrigiellilet t a kewas, that atiitie n ot e s ke any with great caution. There was a joint stock company l ate l y established there with great capital and security, anti there was little danger now of any tbrther failures. In consequence of the late assimilation of the currency of the two countries, a Krum num b er of antes notes ha d b ee n withdrawn out of circulation, and this wee an additional reason W hy there was little danger to apprehend from the circulation of such notes its were now issued, and even these were all payable in go ld. His Lordship then presented th e p et i t i o n, which he noPeat as coming from the Chamber of Commettv of the third city in 'retard, would MANCHESTER PETITION. The Marquis of LANSDOWN also presented a petition in favour of the Promissory Note Bill, from the Chamb er n i. Commerce of Blanchester, and observed, that the petition of such a body of men, connected as they were with the trade of a part of the country which had the advantage of enjoying a me tallic currency, must be considered toi of very considerable im portance in considering this queition. The Earl of LAUDEItDik LE observed that the Gentlemen who had signed this petition said that there were no local notes issued in Manchester, but the circulation of Manches ter principally consiiited of notes !sped at different places within seven, eight, or nine miles of Manchester. He held in his hand specimens of five of these which had been issued within twelve miles of that town. These notes were eVen pay able in Manchester, where there were agents who were lip pointed far the purpose of cashing them, and they formed, in fact, the principal medium of circulation among the trades people of Manchester. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, he had no local know ledge of Manchester. The manufacturers had evidently been sensible of the mischief attending the circulation of bank notes, had opposed themselves to the establishment of such banks in the town, and had 'done every thing in their power to prevent the adoption of such a circulation. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, in confirmation of what the Noble Marquis (of Lanadown) had said, stated that he had communicated recently with a most respectable deputation from that part of the country, and that they most decidedly corn killed of the attempts to push these notes into circulation, and prayed for a ;metallic currency. In one point of view the asser tion of the Noble' Earl (of' Lauderdale) presented a very forcible argument in support of the measure which had been adopted by Ministers ; for it showed how difficult it was, if one pound notes were, alloWed to circulate in one part of the country, to prevent their circulation in another. It formed a strong reason why the Act should pass. The Petition was then laid on the table. PROM ISSORY BILL. The Order of the Day having been read, The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that in moving th e se co nd reading of the Promissory Notes pursuant to his notice, it would not be necessary that he should occupy much of their Lordships' time, for he had ffilly explained its nature on the hest day of the Session, as well as when he bad introdnced the mea. sure respecting the Bank Charter. On this latter occasion ha had indeed entered more at large into the details of the prevent Bill than into those of the measure which he was actually pro posing, as the subject was more complicated and more likely to create discussion. It might be matter of convenience however to state, that the present 11111 was entirely confined. to Eng land, and that its object was to abolbh all notes under five pounds. Ile had been asked on a former occasion whether it was intended to extend the measure to Scotland and Ireland, and he had answered in the affirmative, adding that a l onger interval would be allowed for its operalion. He should now State, that if the present Bill met with the assent of thei r Lord ships, on Friday neit, 'he should move that a Select Caumnittee be appointed to inquire into the state of the banking system in Scotland and Ireland. Ile should not do this from any doubt of the expediency of the extension of the measure to those countries, but because on a subject of so much importance, and on which so deep a feeling bad displayed itself, he thought it but just that the amplest investigation should take place. He should now move that the Bill before the House should be read a second _ The Earl of CAERNA RVON objected to,the measure on account of the time and circumstances under which it bad been introduced, and on the ground that in a country possessing an extended trade like this, a paper currency founded on a me. Milk one was not only the safest, but one calculated to prevent that rise of commercial prices under which the nation had aur icled., As to the time, if it had tended to relieve the existing Pressure, he would have hesitated in giving it his o pp os i t i on , but it was distinctly admitted to have no connection whatever with that . pressure, and was only intended to meet future contingencies. Now he should always object to establishing a permanent system under the spur of momentary circum. stances. The announcement of this measure had produced so breat an effect on the public, that his Bl a j es ty' s M in i sters h a d een compelled almost immediately to introduce another of a counteracting natures. lint even this ought to have been done earlier. As to the period allowed for the completion of the measure, it would he better if the whole operation were allowed to take place at once, instead of being spread out, like the return to gold payments in 1019, over an expanse of three years. limier the present Bill six or eight millions must be drawnout of the circulation of England, or ten or twelve out of that of the whole empire, which could not fail to increase instead of alleviating distress. What objection could there le to notes issued by chartered banks, if those banks could once be established in this country on the same footing as in Scotland ? And could not that be effected by an arrange ment with the Rank to induce it to resign its exclusive prise lege before 1833 ? IVoult) it not be fully as wise at least us the: present design, to place ale currency on that footing which had been found ntost satisfactory in Scotland for a whole century, 1 and toiler which that country had escaped sharing in the distresses of the period ? The Noble Earl then asked their Lordships wiiether before one and two pound notes had been introduced and guineas alone were in circulation, many him. veniences bad not arisen from the practice of clipping or sweat ing them, and from the inducements which they held out to highway robberies? Scarcely any sum could be paid with. out your guineas being weighed and objected to, whilst on the contrary as soon as paper came in, all was ease and convenience.

Could that be t h e cause of such .ex tert eivedistress, which, after beginnin g at New Y or k, had ame t n over this country, aml now ravaging th e N ort h of fiermauy.- Anti could the abolition of one and two pound notes operate as a remedy ? The Noble Earl must have imagined ,that the whole of this excess of . currency consisted of one and two pound notes; but it appeared from the returns on their Lord. skips' table ' that the whole of the :tame, in' thote note s amount. ed to only 1a3f1,000/. from which, if 2011,000/., the extent to which the Bank of England had diminished its issues in mall notes, were withdrawn, the real average would be found not to exceed' 1,540,0001. Could the abstraction of so small a pardon of the currency do any good ? If it were abstracted,' one half of it wouldstill be supplied in paper in some shape or other. Ire trusted lie had shown sufficient cause to their bordshirite•to pause ere they adopted such a measure, and with that view of tite subject he should move as an Amendm e nt th a t th e wor d " now ' be left out, and the following words—" this day sit months," be inserted in its place. • Earl DA RNLEY approved of the measure, because it was the duty of the Government to protect t h e la bouring theses ,against it recurrence of the -distress produced by the stoppage of so many Banks, by establishing over the whole count!) , the same system of currency which 'prevailed in the metropolis. lie should therefore vote for the Bill, with the conviction that it would contribute to the welfare and prosperity of thecoun try . With respect to the other measures which hie been adopted to relieve the, difficulties of the period, whatever might. be their result, and even if it should prove effiTtual, he must consider it as a mistake on the part of his Majesty's Ministers not to have made at once an issue of Exchequer Bills. That would have been the most easy and effective mode. After a few words its explanation by the Earl of RICK, The Earl of LIVERPOOL stated, that it was not frim attachment to his own measures that he was expreising that opinion, but that he was sat i s fi e d t h at if ever he had rendered any service to his country, he had never demi her more than when he resisted the late application for an issue of Exchequer Bills. Had the measure been adopted, no future case of distress would have occurred without the people looking solely for aid to the Gover - Acta.' 'The in stance of seventeen hundred and ninety-three was a moat cala mitous one, by establishing for the first time a president, which even now, when there could be no pretence for political causes or visitations beyond the power and foresight amen, but whets it was admitted by all that the existing distress sprang from overtrading, the Government were called upon to follow. 'But s b c e oo en uf n at r ri e ly fu wi s so e s d it: os th irl the application r t c h i e n rddiuni havin g ty c , u t l i l e e :M i. t o . f e f al t :nee: Exchequer Governments Had such an issue taken place, the relief would have gone into very different hands from those to which it had been adminis tered. Indeed the ground on which it was claimed by those most urgent for such a remedy, was precisely the atrongest ground against it. That ground was aecresy. Now lie thought on the contrary, that if relief were given, 'the name of those to whom it was given ought to be publicly known, as a check to speculation. He had seen the effect produced by the course adopted. Many had prefetred not applying for rJief to doing it openly, whilst the great manufacturers in the country had constantly declared that they wanted no aecresy, and were ready to take the remedy in the manner in which it was aftbrded. It would have been better, if from the beginning the same forward course had been pursued. The Bank was empowered by its ch a r ter an d by a l aw to d o so. and if its operations had been Impeded by its arrangements with the Government, she mig ht have been relieved from them, as it w as now proposed to do. lie well knew that had he and his Collea gues been desirous of securing an easy Session, Which he allow. ed was an object of no small importance, they had only to grant an issue of Exchequer Bills. They Would then have been the best counsellors that the Crown had ever had, and from the be. ginning of the Session to its close not one complaint would have been heard. With respect to what had fallen from the Noble Earl who had moved the amendment, he should make but very few brief observations. He was as much interested as that Noble Earl could be in the suppression of tighway robberies, having suffered from one himself when he was a school-boy : but instead of atttibuting that suppression to the existence of a paper currency, he thought that it was more intimately con nected with a measure which he had been instrumental in car rying into effect when he was at the head of the Home Depth mem, he meant the establishment of the general !bohemia which he would add the enclosure of almost all the commons in the kingdom. The Noble Earl then' stated that the nieesure which he had lately introduced to improve the system of banking In this country already promised to have a snore rapid edict than when he had brought it forward. It was said that we might have here the security of Chartered Banks as in Scotland, but that was not the case, for even if the Bank of Englabd were to give up the whole of its exclusive privileges, those B an k s cou ld not enjoy the advantage which that of Scotland possessed, of receiving support from that of England and communicetiog with this country. We should however, have a more efficient Bank• ingSystem than we at present enjoyed. In all the conversation% which he had with country Bankers, he had found that the most substantial of them said that one and two pound notes were no, object to them, and that they would be as well pleased to be without them as with them. It was only the inferior and insecure Banks that existed on the ciranlation of small notes...- These would be extinguished by the measure, and as their existence only served to endanger the other Banks, their extinc tion would prove a general benefit. Parliament Imre bound to guard against those great and sudden convulsions which, though in the long run they Wight not affect the wealth ofthe country, produced individual distress and demoralization. In London and Liverpool, and the whole of Lancashire, a metallic cur. rency already existed. Now the Customs paid in at those two cities formed three-fourths of those of all England. The Customs of Liverpool alone were equal to those of all Eng land,. with the exception ethnic of London, whilst the Excise' at those places produced three-fifths of that of all England. It' in those cities and districts nothing but a metallic circulation prevailed,ayhy should it be thought impossible to extend it to the whole country. With respect to the bolded interest, he conceived that its outlining* had been still greater than those of the manufacturing districts. As to the present instance, it was not an experiment—it was on the contrary a mere retort to the state of currency Which existed in England, before the r p e. striction of 1797 had been passed, and hadinoodut e d eke p e w system. Under all these ciremnstances, he trusted that .the House would read the_ present Bill a second time. The Earl of lat UDERDALE agreed with much that hid fallen from the Noble Earl, as he ha t most clearly demenstrat. ea the superiority of the banking system in Bcotlant.4oter that which existed, or might even exist in England. He would tell that Noble Earl wbyaroch a system could ,not be established in England—because It was founded on the practice of ages; and could not he created at once by Act of Parliament. He aid not object to the nature of the measure before the Haute, :but to the time of calamity at which It hail been introduced. it was - a cruel thing to adopt it at such a moment. The Earl of LIVERPOOL recollected perfectly the dis tinction which he had made between the system of banking its England anti that long wince established in Scotland, andhe trusted' that his Noble. Friend would be able to chew hew the Scotch banking system could go on, without dependence on the Bank ofErighttub La_ The Earl of IA UDEBDAI4E should be prepared, whin the time 'should come, to satisfy the Noble Earl that the Scotch banking system required no dependence on the mink of Lag. land. If one of the Scotch banks had lent for luo,oool. Item that of England during the late commercial distresses, sums to a much larger amounChad been remitted from Scotland to aid and relieve the English banks.
